•The longest cells in the human body are the motor neurons. They can
be up to 1.37 meters long and go from the spinal cord to the big toe
•Every square inch of the human body has an average of 32 million
bacteria on it.
•Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour - about 1.5
pounds a year. By 70 years of age, an average person will have lost
105 pounds of skin.
•Humans shed and regrow outer skin cells about every 27 days almost 1,000 new skins in a lifetime
•The largest cell in the human body is the female egg cell. It is about
1/180 inch in diameter. The smallest cell in the human body is the male
sperm. It takes about 175,000 sperm cells to weigh as much as a single
egg cell.
•Three-hundred-million cells die in the human body every minute

There are two types of cells:
1. Prokaryotic Cells
2. Eukaryotic Cells
1. pro = before
2. karyotic = nucleus
3. These were the first cells.
4. They were primitive, small,
had no defined nucleus (no
nuclear membrane), and no
membrane bound cell
organelles.
5. They have ribosomes
1. eu = true
2. karyotic = nucleus
3. These are modern cells.
4. They have a nucleus and
membrane-bound
organelles.
5. They are much larger (up to
1000X larger).
Since life first appeared on Earth some 3.8 billion years ago, it
has been estimated that more than 99.9% of all species have
gone extinct.
 All living things are made up of cells
 The cell is also the functional unit of life
 All living cells come from pre-existing
cells
The cell is the basic unit of life and contains internal
structures called ORGANELLES.
This is a universal structure. It is the same in all organisms.
The cell membrane is
composed of a bi-layer of
phospholipids with proteins
embedded in it.
Most of the organelles
inside the cell also have a
bilayer membrane.
The model used to explain the cell membrane is called the
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL.
carbohydrates
a) SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE: Controls what comes in and
out of the cell. Does not let large, charged or polar things through.
FLUID MOSAIC MODEL: The phospholipids move, thus
allowing small non-polar molecules to slip through.
PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER: Double layered membrane.
b) GLYCOLIPIDS: carbs attached to
phospholipids. Act as receptors – receive info.
from body to tell cell what to do.
c) GLYCOPROTEINS: carbs attached to
proteins. Act as receptors – receive info from
body to tell cell what to do.
d) INTEGRAL PROTEINS: assists specific larger and charged
molecules to move in and out of the cell. Can act as ‘tunnels’
or will change shape.
e) PERIPHERAL PROTEINS: They only go through a part of
the membrane, or sit on top of another protein.
f) CHOLESTEROL: Reduces membrane fluidity by reducing
phospholipid movement. Also stops the membrane from
becoming solid at room temperatures.
g) CYTOSKELETON: A cytoskeleton acts as a framework
that gives the cell it's shape. It also serves as a monorail to
transport organelles around the cell.
Nuclear
membrane
Nuclear
pore
Nucleolus
Chromatin
Nucleoplasm
1. Dark granule in the
centre of the cell.
2. Stores genetic
information
3. Controls cell activities
through protein
synthesis
4. Controls cell division
5. It is the site of DNA
replication and
transcription
1. This is the dark
stained area in
the nucleus.
2. It is made up of
RNA.
3. It has no
membrane
4. It makes rRNA
(ribosomal
RNA), which
then makes
ribosomes.
1. A double layer
of cell
membrane,
which contains
very large
pores.
2. Pores allow
RNA and
proteins in and
out of the
nucleus.
1. Densely coiled DNA wrapped
around histone proteins.
2. Contains the blueprint for all
proteins in the body
3. Is condensed into
chromosomes before cell
replication.
1. This is the
cytoplasm of the
nucleus.
2. It supports and
suspends the
contents of the
nucleus.
1. This is the
FURNACE of the
cell.
2. It has a double
membrane. Inner
membrane is very
folded = CRISTAE
(increased surface
area).
3. Mitochondria have
their own DNA.
Mitochondria are used to convert the
chemical energy in food to ATP
Mitochondria performs CELLULAR RESPIRATION:
C6H12O6 + O2  CO2 + H2O + ATP energy
1. These are small dark
granules made of rRNA.
2. Ribosomes are the site
of protein synthesis.
3. They ensure the correct
order of amino acids in
the protein chain.
Usually attached to the rough ER, so proteins produced can
be easily exported (sent out of the cell).
Free floating ribosomes join
up to make many copies of
the same protein.
Polysomes produce proteins
to be used inside the cell.
This is an extensive network of internal sheets of cell
membrane. The ER connects the nuclear membrane to
the plasma membrane. It is a transport system.
There are two types:
ROUGH ER:
•Has attached ribosomes.
•Usually connected with the
nuclear membrane.
•Ribosomes make proteins and
then place them in the rER
•Proteins are sometimes modified
here
•The rER packages proteins in a
vesicle and sends them to the
Golgi Body.
SMOOTH ER:
•Has no attached ribosomes.
•Makes lipids and steroids.
•Also detoxifies harmful material or waste
products
•You’ll find a lot of sER in liver cells and
glands that make hormones.
1. These are made up of flattened
saccules of cell membrane, which
are stacked loosely on top of each
other.
2. One side faces the ER and the
other faces the plasma membrane.
3. There are usually vesicles at the
edges of the Golgi.
4. Their function is to receive, modify,
and temporarily store proteins and
fats from the rough and smooth ER.
These proteins are packaged into vesicles which pinch off
from the edges, and are distributed within the cell or shipped
to the cell membrane for excretion.
DNA
copies a
gene as
RNA
RNA moves
through pore
and attaches
to ribosome to
make protein
Protein put
into RER,
then sent to
Golgi in a
vesicle
Golgi modifies protein,
stores it until needed, and
sends it to PM in a
vesicle.
Protein
released at
the Plasma
Membrane via
exocytosis
1. These are the storage sacs of the
cell membrane.
2. Vesicles are smaller and are formed
by pinocytosis (cell drinking) –
usually made by Golgi body or from
in-foldings of the cell membrane.
3. They are used to move substances
around the cell that need to be
separate from the cytoplasm.
4. Stores food, water, and/or waste.
Vacuoles are
larger and are
formed by
phagocytosis
(cell eating).
1. These are doublemembraned vacuoles with
hydrolytic (digestive)
enzymes.
2. Made by the Golgi body.
3. They are also known as
‘suicide-sacs’.
1. They attach to food vacuoles and
digest their contents.
2. They also destroy old or
malfunctioning cell parts.
3. They are capable of destroying
bacteria.
This gives the cell its shape and
form. It anchors and supports
the cell organelles.
It also serves as a monorail to
transport organelles around
the cell.
There are two components to the
cytoskeleton:
1. Microtubules
2. Microfilaments
1. These are larger than microfilaments.
2. They are cylinder-shaped and made of a
coiled protein called tubulin.
3. Along with making up the cytoskeleton, they
are used to make cilia, flagella, centrioles and
spindle fibres.
Flagella
1. These are hair-like
projections, which use
energy to produce
movement/locomotion.
2. They move as the
pairs of tubules slide
against each other.
3. Cilia are short and
there are many of
them. Flagella are long
and few.
1. They are made of ‘microtubules’ (‘9+2’).
2. Anchored to cell by a basal body (‘9+0’)
1. A pair of basal bodies
(microtubules) that grow
spindle fibers
2. They attach to and move
chromosomes during
mitosis.
3. These are found in
animal cells only.
1. They are long and extremely thin protein fibres that occur
in bundles made of 2 proteins called Actin and Myosin.
2. Organelles move around the cytoplasm on these.
1. This is a ‘watery gel’ that contains mainly water with
dissolved salts, proteins and other organic compounds.
2. It’s functions are to support and suspend organelles and to
provide water for all of the cells biochemistry.
